Representative John Yarmuth, for example, suggested that a battle between Judd and the incumbent Republican Senator Mitch McConnell could become the "premiere race in the country".

However, Judd suggested in a statement to Us Weekly that she is not ready to consider running for office just yet.

"I cherish Kentucky, heart and soul, and while I'm very honored by the consideration, we have just finished an election," she said. "So let's focus on coming together to keep moving America's families, and especially our kids, forward."
